Stewart Creek Covered Bridge

World Guide Number: 37-20-28 Built: 1930 Truss: Howe Span: 60 feet Stream: Mosby Creek Directions: From Cottage Grove, proceed southeast on Mosby Creek Rd. about 3.1 miles to Garoutte Rd. This bridge is visible from Mosby Creek Road.

History: Constructed in 1930, Stewart Bridge has borne the brunt of many nature's whims. The raging water of the 1964 Christmas Flood caused the lower chords of the bridge to crack. A few years later, heavy snowfall caused the roof bracing to give way and the entire roof caved in. Repairs to the bridge made it usable until it was bypassed in the 1980s by a concrete bridge.

The bridge now only serves pedestrian and bicyclist traffic.
